Why Choose an Industrial Arduino Shield?
Reliable 24V Operation
Many industrial devices run on 24V DC power, but standard Arduino boards are 5V/3.3V devices. Our shield bridges this gap, allowing your Arduino Nano to interface directly with real-world industrial equipment without level shifters or external relays.
Robust NPN Outputs
Open collector NPN outputs are a standard in automation. This shield provides 9 NPN outputs capable of driving industrial loads reliably and safely. Easily connect to PLC inputs, indicator lamps, or external relays.
Safe and Noise-Resistant Inputs
Opto-isolated digital inputs protect your Arduino from high-voltage spikes and electrical noise—crucial in noisy factory environments. Your sensors and switches can operate without risking damage to the controller.
Analog Flexibility
With 4 analog inputs, you can measure a range of signals—voltage from sensors, environmental data, or process variables—bringing analog monitoring and control into your automation projects.
Audible Alerts with Buzzer
The built-in buzzer can be used for alarms, process completion signals, error warnings, or user notifications—enhancing usability and interactivity in your projects.
Ideal Applications
- Industrial Automation: Control and monitor machinery, conveyors, pumps, or robotic arms.
- Building Management: Integrate with HVAC systems, lighting control, or access monitoring.
- Home Automation: Create advanced smart home solutions with reliable industrial components.
- Prototyping and Education: Perfect for engineering students or makers working with real-world industrial signals.
